And how would either compare to a cheap 1ghz+ arm SoC emulating it in software?

- rbanffy 9y agoIf you do it right, you can use real physical hardware designed for the original computer directly. If you build an Apple //e motherboard from an FPGA, you'll be able to mount it inside an Apple //e case and use the keyboard (provided you built the signals and the connector), drive the composite video output (again, if you replicated the video signal generation), plug in floppy controllers (if you replicated the slots) and so on. This is useful if you need to read original media, for instance. You can build a very accurate software emulation, but you won't be able to interface it with physical hardware that way.
